Default My XR2 Rebuild----Lots of metal to replace!!

Well guys i have begun the dreaded rebuild and even after taking the kit off i am feeling week at the knees! I have got serious rot in the inner wings and only half of the sills each side to do aswell as the rear arches. I have already replaced the boot floor and put soundedening down and i have replaced the passenger side front foot well and the rear arch is on its way.
Any comments?
